[SOLVED] POST and GET

[Mundo]

I want my URL to resemble something like:

 

http://localhost/clicker/diary.php?module=view&date=2009-03-05

 

My form is:

<div id="text">
<h1>View Diary</h1>
<p><b>Viewing the Diary</b> is easy. Use the drop down box to select a day (within the next 7 days (inclusive of today)) and the diary for that day will automatically be generated.</p>

<form name="selectdayform" method="post" action="diary.php?module=view">
	<label>
		<select name="selectday" id="selectday">
			<option value="<? echo date("Y-m-d", $week1); ?>"><? echo date("F jS", $week1); ?></option>
			<option value="<? echo date("Y-m-d", $week2); ?>"><? echo date("F jS", $week2); ?></option>
			<option value="<? echo date("Y-m-d", $week3); ?>"><? echo date("F jS", $week3); ?></option>
			<option value="<? echo date("Y-m-d", $week4); ?>"><? echo date("F jS", $week4); ?></option>
			<option value="<? echo date("Y-m-d", $week5); ?>"><? echo date("F jS", $week5); ?></option>
			<option value="<? echo date("Y-m-d", $week6); ?>"><? echo date("F jS", $week6); ?></option>
			<option value="<? echo date("Y-m-d", $week7); ?>"><? echo date("F jS", $week7); ?></option>
		</select>
			<input name="submit" type="submit" value="submit">	
	</label>
</form>
</div>

 

and my PHP is:

 

<?
mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
mysql_select_db("clicker");

include "tpl/header.tpl";

$week1 = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d"), date("y"));
$week2 = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d")+1, date("y"));
$week3 = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d")+2, date("y"));
$week4 = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d")+3, date("y"));
$week5 = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d")+4, date("y"));
$week6 = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d")+5, date("y"));
$week7 = mktime(0, 0, 0, date("m"), date("d")+6, date("y"));

if($_GET['module'] == "view") {
include "tpl/viewdiary.tpl";

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
	echo $_POST['selectdayform'];
	}
}



include "tpl/footer.tpl";
?>

 

What am I doing wrong? I don't understand... I know it must be pretty simple...

Hi

 

Try changing the method on the form to "get".

 

All the best

<form name="date" method="get" action="diary.php?module=view">

If you use method="get" and you have a GET parameter on the end of the URL - "diary.php?module=view", the form fields will replace any GET parameters on the end of the URL. If you want to use GET, you would need to use a hidden field in the form for the module=view parameter.

So how would I make it

 

diary.php?module=view&date=whatever ???

 

When I click my submit button, it goes to: http://localhost/clicker/diary.php?date=2009-03-10

But I need it to goto http://localhost/clicker/diary.php?module=view&date=2009-03-10
